The United States Secret Service uses FM radio frequencies for all of their mobile communications between the protective details and the primary people they are assigned to protect. Whether they are in a motorcade, in the air or traveling by any other means, the Secret Service is always in touch with other agents on a worldwide basis. Code names for U.S. presidents, first ladies, and other prominent persons, organizations, groups and locations. The use of such names was originally for security purposes and dates to a time when sensitive electronic communications were not routinely encrypted; today, the names simply serve for purposes of brevity, clarity, and tradition. The Secret Service does not choose these names, however. The White House Communications Agency assigns these names. WHCA was originally created as the White House Signal Detachment under Franklin Roosevelt.
The White House Communications Agency WHCA, is an agency of the White House Military Office, it is headquartered at Anacostia Navy Yard and consists of six staff elements and seven organizational units. WHCA also has supporting detachments in Washington, D.C. and various locations throughout the United States of America.
According to established protocol, 'good' code words are unambiguous words that can be easily pronounced and readily understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language. Traditionally, all family members' code names start with the same letter.
The codenames change over time for security purposes, but are often publicly known. For security, codenames are generally picked from a list of such 'good' words, but avoiding the use of common words which could likely be intended to mean their normal definitions.
